The City of Chicago says Jussie Smollett has refused to pay more than $130,000 US to reimburse the costs of investigating what authorities say was a staged racist, anti-gay attack against him.


The city's law department also said in a statement Thursday that it will be drafting a lawsuit to be filed "in the near future" in response, and will sue the Empire actor in Cook County Civil Court.

he municipal code stipulates that the city can triple the amount originally demanded if someone fails to pay an initial amount. That means the city could demand more than $390,000 US from Smollett.


A suit could lead to a drawn-out battle in civil court that could end in a trial focused on the question of whether Smollett did or didn't orchestrate the Jan. 29 attack.
